Summary

In week three of In the Arena, Pastor Joby walks us through 1 Samuel 17 and the true meaning of the David and Goliath story. It's not about us being brave enough to slay our own giants. It's about a greater David, Jesus, who has already won the victory we could never win on our own. Whether you’re staring down fear, addiction, brokenness, or doubt, the battle isn’t yours to win—it's already been won at the cross. You don’t need a cheerleader; you need a champion. And good news: you have one. - The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. Eleven22 is led by Pastor Joby Martin and based in Jacksonville, Florida, with multiple campuses throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas.
